another rainy day

today it's raining cats and dogs here - therefore I chose this picture from Bucharest taken about one year ago. In the background you can see the Palace of the Parliament (formerly known as Casa Poporului). It's one of the largest buildings of the world. In fact the rainy weather doesn't really affect me (I'm still blocked at my parents' home with my broken feet), but some sun would be much more pleasant...

old and new

this picture was taken in the historic center of Bucharest - in top of it you can see old painted advertisements of the shop that used to be there, a "librarie" that sold anything you need for writing and drawing, school books, CDs and bags, too. I really liked this shop, but it was closed. Below these paintings are modern posters advertising concerts. (and yes, I'm still at home with two injured feet which is quite unpleasant)

...

we picked these flowers in the garden in Badeni - the car smelled wonderful on the way back. PS: I broke the next bone. This time it's the small toe of my "healthy" foot that got into a collision with one of my crutches... :(

sunny Sunday

I hope everybody can enjoy it :) I'm still at home waiting for the healing of my broken foot.

Johnny

This post was inspired by Talon who posted a poem about a corvid yesterday. :) Johnny is a mischievous crow that used to come to our garden in the last months. I think he was brought up by humans and then released to live alone in the wild. Whenever Johnny came around something happened... PS: I'm glad that you liked Johnny :) Unfortunately, he disappeared some weeks ago. I'm still waiting for him to return, because it was always fun to watch him. He's very playful and likes garden tools very much.

Impressions

from Badeni where I went about 3 weeks. We played domino there and enjoyed the garden which is full of walnut, almond, cherry and peach trees. PS: I'm still at home waiting for the healing of my bones.
